I was wondering how smooth is the transfer from playing to flute to playing other wind instruments, such as the oboe or clarinet. How similliar is it eventually?

Thanks.

I am looking for flute only albums by good flutists-musicians.
Any recommendation?
Thanks.

Thanks. That is good for now. No pre-knowledge needed, right?
Do i really need a private teacher with a book like Harrison's?

Up to what level can it bring me?
Are there books that can be used as follow-ups to this book?

Hello,
I am looking for books for self studying as a beginner.
Which ones are the best? Thanks.

At the start of this piece, what kind of a flute is it?
Is it a normal western flute concert? a bass flute?

Thanks.

anyone?

Ok thanks.
I can get around here the following flutes.
JUPITER JFL-511S for 300$.
YAMAHA YFL-221 for 640$.
YAMAHA YFL-271 for 1000$.
YAMAHA YFL-371 for 1220$.
YAMAHA YFL-471 1520$.
YAMAHA YFL-574 2650$.

How big if the difference really? I prefer to get the medium ones eventually.

What can be the lowest price for a gold flute?

Thanks.
That might sound stupid, but Can i get every flute in gold? Because i mostly see silver around my area and i kind of hate this colour. Does every model come with a single color or is it changeable before you buy it?

1. Which models are good and that can last long, also after the beginners stage?
2. Is the warranty important or useful?

Thanks.

Thanks alot.
What is the difference between gold and silver flutes?

I was wondering how practical is the idea of learning all by myself how to play the Flute.
Thanks.
